Rear Camera?

Anyone put a rearvue camera to work with the screen in the car? I'm just a little spoiled with my other cars with it.

Yup! I had one installed last year. It's not quite hidden or discrete as I would have liked but I've grown used to it. I opted not to have any holes drilled in the car to give it that "Extra Clean" look but it gets the job done I'll post some pics of it if you want....just give me a few days

Yes, please do! Is it hooked up in a way to work with the factory LCD screen?

Well, My car didn't come with the Navi so I had the new Kenwood 8120 with Navi, Bluetooth, DVD, MP3 player etc. installed with an amp and the back-up camera...all could be controlled at the steering wheel! I did not want to give up the factory controls from the wheel. The cost? $2500! Not a steal but not robbery either...I thought it was a fare deal. I can drive while watching tombstone! LOL. However, I would never do that for safety reasons. I have an IS 350 and I compared that camera to my aftermarket camera on the Benz and I have to admit, the aftermarket camera has a wider view of space..maybe because it's not as hidden as the one on the Lexus. Take a look at the pics!
